After lunch, Yan Jiaojiao felt sleepy and fell asleep in Princess Cheng's room.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the carriage returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
【Big brother? 】
Yan Jiaojiao cheered and pounced towards the handsome young man in front of him.
Li Rui was hugging her, but she could barely hold her firmly this time.
Yan Rong and the Ninth Prince reached out their hands at the same time.
"This girl is really a bit overbearing!"
The Ninth Prince lamented, "After hugging her for a while, my arms will feel sore."
【It’s just a rumor! 】
Yan Jiaojiao looked at her eldest brother in disbelief and nodded in agreement, her big eyes almost popping out of her head.
[Big brother actually laughed! 】
[I am clearly the most blessed person! 】
Yan Rong pursed her lips and smiled.
The Ninth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
He was the one who took the person out, and if he got bumped when he sent him back, that would be a bad thing.
Ji was already waiting at the gate with Yan Jing.
Seeing his son and daughter coming back together, a smile already appeared on his face.
After sending the man back with his beard and tail intact, the Ninth Prince returned to the palace alone.
Mrs. Ji took Yan Jiaojiao and returned to the Peony Garden with her two sons.
"Mother, when will uncle come back?"
Yan Rong washed her hands and sat in front of the window watching Ji change her sister's clothes.
Mrs. Ji smiled and said: "It's hard for your uncle to spend the August Festival in our house. The academy has a three-day holiday. He will go back to your grandfather's house on the 15th and won't come until the 16th."
The Ji family also has two medium-sized houses outside the capital.
Yan Rong nodded, "I really miss my uncle."
Yan Jing came over and said, "I think so too."
While they were talking, the little maid walked in and said, Aunt Gu is here.
Ji looked at the sky, it was almost dark.
"Let her in."
If there was nothing important, Gu Qiushui would not come at this time.
Yan Rong stood up and prepared to take her younger brothers and sisters with her to the courtyard.
At the door, I happened to meet Gu Qiushui.
"First Young Master, Second Young Master."
Gu Qiushui was very polite and nodded in greeting.
Yan Rong didn't like Yan Hongfei's concubine very much. With a faint smile on his face, he nodded slightly and went out.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Yan Rong asked Yan Jing, "Aunt Gu, are you still respectful these days?"
"It's not bad." Yan Jing didn't have any dislike for the gentle and gentle Gu Qiushui. "It's much better than Taohuawu. She greets her mother every morning. The rest of the time, she takes care of her father in Yuzhu Garden, easily It won’t come out.”
Yanrong felt relieved after hearing this. He wasn't worried about anything else. He was afraid that Gu Qiu Shui would also be dazzled by wealth and have an evil heart that he shouldn't have because of Liu Xinyue's mistakes.
In the main room, Mrs. Ji motioned for Gu Qiushui to sit down.
"Come so late, what's wrong?"
When Gu Qiushui asked, he quickly stood up and said, "I knew that the eldest young master was back, so I shouldn't have disturbed the madam now. However, I found that something seemed not quite right with the Marquis."
"Tell me more about it."
Mr. Ji poured her tea and lowered her eyes.
Gu Qiushui said: "Ever since Mr. Hou was recuperating in Yuzhu Garden, several confidants would come in from time to time to answer some questions. I watched with cold eyes. In the past two days, there seemed to be something wrong with Mr. Hou's long-term follower Zhao Si. It seemed that something was wrong. Secretly helping Mr. Hou deliver some news."
"That's to be expected."
Ji smiled lightly.
Yan Hongfei was in his prime. Even if he couldn't move, how could he be willing to be trapped in a small courtyard?
It's hard to say that right now, I'm still dreaming about returning to the court to regain my glory. It's a pity that she won't give him this chance.
"But do you know what message he sent?" Ji continued to ask.
Gu Qiushui wondered: "Every time Zhao Si comes in, the Marquis sends me out, and I can't even stay at the door. Therefore, I just sense that something is wrong, but I don't know what's going on."
"You are careful."
Mrs. Ji praised, "Go back and serve the Marquis well. I will take this matter to heart."
Gu Qiushui complied, moved her lotus steps lightly, and walked away smoothly.
"Madam, what should we do?" Tang Rui frowned, a little worried.
Ji knocked on the table and said, "Let's talk tomorrow. I'll ask A Rong and the others to come over for dinner."
Seeing that Ji's expression was as usual, Tang Rui went to call the Yanrong brothers and sisters worriedly.
The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When he got up early in the morning, Gu Qiushui helped Yan Hongfei wash up, and then changed his clothes with two other boys.
"Let Zhao Si come."
Although he was sick, Yan Hongfei was still an adult man. Gu Qiushui and the boy were not strong enough, so it was quite difficult to change clothes.
Yan Hongfei was fed up with the torment and sent someone to find Zhao Si.
The boy went for a while and then came back, "Master Hou, I didn't find Brother Zhao, and there's no one at home."
Yan Hongfei also had doubts in his eyes, and he asked vaguely, "What do you mean not being able to find?"
Just a few words came out of his mouth, but it seemed that he had used up most of his strength.
"I went to look for him in the servant's room at the back, but he wasn't there. I went to his house to look for him again, but there was no one there. After asking around, someone said that he hadn't been seen since last night."
Gu Qiushui's eyelids twitched.
It seems that the lady moves very quickly.
